Dylan’s Story

Dylan, an 8-year old boy, has been through over 81 surgeries since his birth, with 25 of them just this past 12 months.

He was born several months premature and he had an IV infiltrate that caused a skin infection (cellulitis), which was not treated properly and quickly spread throughout his body and turning to MRSA (staph) and two brain bleeds before moving on to osteomyelitis (bone infection). This destroyed his right leg from hip to knee and left shoulder joint completely.

He has become immune deficient and gets sick very quickly, having one massive infection after another, particularly pneumonias. His lungs are very weak and scarred. He is epileptic, and struggles with seizures on an ongoing basis. In November (2016), he ended up in ICU in a non-responsive state with altered mental status. He has not fully recovered mentally since this stay, as he regressed in a lot of areas. He has been in a wheelchair for 15 months now! He is scheduled for another major leg surgery next month (June 2017). He has only attended less than 25 days of school this entire school year and has not been cleared to return for medical purposes for the remainder of the year.

While Dylan has been through many trials and hardships, he has not let any of these deter his happiness and love for life. He has learned to overcome, and he strives to bring joy and happiness to others. In spite of all this, he has a smile that will light up a room and he never complains.

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund serves United States military personnel wounded or injured in service to our nation, and their families. Supporting these heroes helps repay the debt all Americans owe them for the sacrifices they have made in service to our nation. They are, in the words of our founder, the late Zachary Fisher, “our nation’s greatest national resource,” and they deserve all the help that our nation can provide. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is a leader in meeting this important national mission.

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is a leader in supporting the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families. Begun in 2000 and established as an independent not-for-profit organization in 2003, the Fund has provided close to $150 million in support for the families of military personnel lost in service to our nation, and for severely wounded military personnel and veterans. These efforts are funded entirely with donations from the public, and hundreds of thousands of individuals have contributed to the Fund.

That’s the question hundreds of homeless young adults on the streets in Massachusetts and the rest of the country face every night. Add to that, the road of an unknown future and the worry of being taken advantage of at any time. Life just shouldn’t be that way.

For thirteen years, Youth On Fire, a prevention program of AIDS Action, has made life better and safer for homeless youth. They provide a safe and secure space, help meet their basic needs like a shower or a meal, build supportive relationships with caring adults, address medical and mental health issues, and engage them to improve their lives, at their own pace.

“Sometimes all it takes is meeting one or two people who really care to make you start turning your life around.”

EVERY DONATION, SMALL OR LARGE, WILL MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A HOMELESS YOUNG ADULT.
